Two nurses just held me down and shoved hose down my nose into my stomach to feed me. Then I going to get wheeled over to get a 5 hour MRI.
When I get back to my room someone will feed me my dinner with a syringe through the tube my nose.

I’ve been sleepwalking and falling down over the last few days and I’ve lost over 30lbs since April. I’m living on ensure and yogurt cause I can’t swallow anything else.

So Monday they’re putting in a feeding tube into my stomach.hopefully I avoid infection and make it a little easier because it’s been a bitch for the last few weeks.
I’m not dead yet!

seclark buddy, I've enjoyed the hell out of your posts and rep over the years. Enjoy those young nurses. Good vibes for you and yours.

Prayers for you and your family Sec. I have always enjoyed your posts and the back and forth chats via PM. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you buddy.

I’m still here.
They found a new spot on my brain that wasn’t there in may. Likely caused by a small stroke,
Running some kind of test at 11am where they stick me with needles and shock me. I still have the hose up my nose down to my stomach but they say that they are going to try to put the feeding tube in tomorrow or the next day.
sec

Oh my sec - please get better! :thumb:

PRayer sent SEC...I'm a johnny-come-lately, but you made people's day brighter, and that's all that matters! Get well...

Hang in there, buddy.

Definitely when I read one of his stories from home, my day was brighter. Would love to sit on his porch and talk for a few hours.

5 hour MRI? What the Jesus Christ?

All the best my friend. Nothing but love.

They told us that it was going to take 5 hours, but it only took two. That was long enough.
sec

Godspeed on your trip to good health. CP loves you.

Hang in there Sec. Prayers your way man!!

Man, we Planeteers are a hardy bunch, We don't go gently into the good night. We fight like hell to beat deaths ass. Way to set an example sec. :clap: you too Haywire.

That's still 1.5 too long.

Hopefully they can keep underpromising and overperforming.

Damn, sorry to hear about all this seclark. Sounds pretty awful. Prayers for recovery and a more comfortable situation very soon.

Damn man, hang in there.

Stay strong. What you are going through right now sounds awful and I don’t wish it upon anyone. Thank you for updating us on your condition.

I’m truly blessed with my life.
I’m not sure if I should be complaining about a few thorns in my life when I look back and realize how much I have been given.
sec

I will say that my twin sons gave their mom a break Saturday night and stayed the night with me.
They had a backpack full of beer and threw the empties in various trash cans throughout the floor. I’ve forgotten what it is to be young and carefree.
sec

Positive thoughts and prayers for you sec

sec, I hope the Gtube is helpful. It will be allot less intrusive than an dobhoff or any other tube. Will make nourishment a simpler task.

I wish you well.

I have ALS
sec

Shit bro so sorry 😢

Sorry to hear that.

Thoughts and Prayers to Sec....Hang in there brother.

Their diagnosis is wrong, brother. You have TBOS


-tougher than boiled owl shit syndrome.

Damn, sorry to hear that Sec.

Hopefully with the feeding tube you get some much needed nutrition and some strength. Those boys of yours may even syringe that beer in the tube!

Sorry to hear my good man. At least you know what it is now.

Wondering how a diagnosis ends up ****s with my head from time to time. I came back to the house. Locked the car in the driveway. Came into the house. 3.5 hours later a neighbor knocked on our door to let us know the car was still running in our driveway. Makes me wonder how bad this short term memory loss shit is going to get?

Just try to enjoy and focus on each day things you enjoy. That’s what I’m
Trying to do anyway.

Very sorry to hear that diagnosis sec. Stay positive. Stay around.

seclark-

I'm very sorry to hear about your diagnosis; it sounds like you are incredibly blessed to have a loving support and caregiving circle around you. Do some research; there are a lot of resources available for folks with ALS and their caregivers. Caregivers will need support along with you on this journey.

Take care and God bless.

Fat E

Oh crap, sorry to hear that Sec. Hang in there buddy. Prayers your way.

Does this mean we get to throw a bucket of ice on you now? Maybe we can do it with a Gatorade cooler to make it seem more manly. ;)

But obviously I know that's not a diagnosis you want to hear. All you can do is keep fighting like you have been. Hang in there.

I watched my mother in law suffer with ALS. My prayers are with you Sec.

Well, shit. This has to be about as devastating of news as you could have received. So sorry to hear. I've read there are some hopeful advancements in how to treat ALS. Praying those become real on a timeline that helps you ASAP.

Sorry to hear the news. Sounds like you are blessed with a great family to get through this difficult time.

They discharged me yesterday.
Got the best night of sleep I’ve had in a week. I was waking up at 2am every morning and couldn’t go back to sleep.
The wife is doing great working with the feeding tube, and I’m digging it with taking my meds instead of swallowing them.
The cancer has been put on the back burner, but I’m still going to my monthly doctors appointment but they’re not doing the treatments.
I’m going to monthly ALS clinic checkups, and am on 2 scripts. These don’t fix the disease but hopefully will slow it down.

I’m gaining strength back slowly because I haven’t been eating for so long and now I’m getting 6 meals a day through the tube.

I’m thankful for all the thoughts and prayers.

sec

Keep it up bro! 🙏

Thanks for the update!

One day at a time sec. Awesome that you're home now. Godspeed.

This makes me smile.

I do not know how I missed this. God speed.

Good news buddy.

Stay strong brother!!!!

One of my twins came by this afternoon and the wife showed him how to feed me through the tube.
He said that he mixed in 2 big tablespoons of mayonnaise in with the the nutrient, and I said “**** you, you’re not gonna get near my feeding tube again !”
I hate mayonnaise.
sec

:LOL:

Well said!! Hang in there brother!!! All of us are pulling for you!!!

No more mayonnaise for seclark... Glad you're still around and fighting, good sir! Hang in there, good sir!

Very glad to hear the good news sec

I’m going back home after l
